6 Ways Sailor Moon Crystal Can Fix the Original Series

As a longtime fan and proud owner of a Sailor Saturn costume, I am almost too excited for Sailor Moon Crystal (one might even say “over the moon.” Yuck, yuck, yuck.) Originally introduced to the franchise through the ’90s American dub, my fandom knew no limits, soon expanding to the manga (which was released near concurrently with the series) and the far-better Japanese version of the show.

While I’ll always hold a special place in my heart for the Toonami broadcasts of Sailor Moon, I know the series I first fell in love with is merely a (poorly) bastardized version of both the manga and the original anime. That’s why when I heard Crystal was planning to stick closely to the manga, I was beyond thrilled. After all these years, finally a chance to do it right!
